OPPIA: A context-aware ubiquitous learning platform to exploit short-lived student networks for collaborative learning

We present the OPPIA platform, an ubiquitous and smart learning environment, that deploys sporadic learning networks (SLNs) among people (students, teachers and experts) who happen to be in a common place or in a remote place but connected to the platform through Internet. The idea is to establish dynamic learning networks that encourage their members to work together to create a learning environment that provides students with the resources and activities necessary to overcome their limitations and learning needs. This paper describes the design of the platform from lowest levels of establishing of the connections among members of the SLNs, up the highest level of smart learning services.
